Not Again...

I want to write a poem

But nothing comes to mind

Why on earth does inspiration

Always seem so hard to find?

I can write about anything

(As you may have seen),

But why are clever reasons to write

So few and far between?

A letter from a fan:

James, this is the third poem you've written about writers block.

Find a different topic please

You're a brilliant writer but it's getting old.

Thanks for reading. ~the entire country of Belize (Apparently I have a rather substantial Central American fan base.)

My response:

Dear Belize, I appreciate your honesty.

The trouble is, with writers block,

There's only one topic I have in stock—

And that, of course, is writer's block.

Trust me, it's a frustrating dilemma,

A terrible enigma, 

Almost worse than that of Simba.

Sincerely, ~Rush Limbaugh (because nothing rhymes with James)



Okay, I admit, writing my own fan mail may be a little desperate.
